I spent much of the morning recovering pictures from two more posts. When Wayback Machine is required these processes take much longer because when images are completely missing and have no indications of what they were I have to use that indispensable facility. This was the case with:
This evening Becky and Ian joined us all at Lal Quilla for my birthday meal, which I will review tomorrow. In the meantime here are Jackie’s photographs of family members.

Becky brought along some new toys which kept Ellie well amused.



Our great granddaughter sat between her parents for a while,



mostly on her mother’s lap,







until gravitating towards that of her grandmother.

Your header photo is fabulous, and I see why you picked it. I also love the third in the series, with Flo’s great look at Dillon. Bravo, Jackie, for catching that moment.
Also love the Ellie and Becky series. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely evening with us.
